The two-day total came in at $103,634, surpassing last year's total by nearly $20,000.

The money goes to the Hunger Task Force, which provides food for local families in need.

“Our commitment to the community is more than just important local coverage in our newscasts. We care deeply about the people who could use extra help over the holidays,” says Jan Wade, president and general manager of WISN 12. “We not only work here, but we also live here. This is our home and we’re happy to do our part in improving the lives of those who need it most.”

“Partnering with our friends at WISN 12 right before Thanksgiving is a great help to Hunger Task Force and to families who need a hand in our community. We’re grateful for this relationship and look forward to another great drive,” says Hunger Task Force executive director Sherrie Tussler.

“We’re honored to partner again with Hunger Task Force on this important cause,” adds Wade. “We know that the amazing generosity of Southeast Wisconsin will continue for this year, and many more to come.”
